I design planters that I consider functional art, sometimes I even get it right! But anyway, I started an unrelated conversation on a /r a while back, and someone suggested I design an orchid planter since most of them are super boring. This was my attempt. I hope you like it.
I made an orchid planter, in two sizes. Because normal orchid planters are boring

Yes, I designed and print them. I planted directly and dunk the whole thing in the sink when I need to water them. Or you can soak the bark and let it run into the drain tray which is a separate piece.

Very nice! Looks like it's 3D printed, is that right? Do you plant directly into it or is it meant to hold an inner pot?
